I'm pretty sure there never was a "Scenario 16". I'm guessing you are looking for an equivalent to the Scenario 10 "Tier 1" (Japanese AI), but there isn't one. Andy originally had two versions of Scenario 17 - "Tier 2" and "Tier 3" (I talk about them a bit and have links here) - but the updated Scenario 17 in this thread is entirely Tier 3 (See Andy's comments in post #4). To clarify the terminology: - Tier 1 is "Ironman" and gives the AI opponent additional weapons, but the types (if not the timing and the quantities) should be familiar. The AI will be aggressive, but...within reason. - Tier 2 is "Ironman Nasty" which significantly increases the quantity and "early availability" of AI assets. The AI will be more aggressive in their use. - Tier 3 is "Ironman Nasty Nasty" which takes Tier 2 and expands on it in ways that WILL make your life a living hell. I'm not sure you can truly equate a Tier 3 Allied AI with a Tier 3 Japanese AI, and my limited experience with the early Scenario 17 AI was painful but livable. As a general assessment, I'd say it was roughly equivalent to "Japanese Tier 1.5" (not that such a thing exists). However, if the current version is a true Tier 3? Go with God, my son.
